There's also the scenario of:

- downloaded the file, intending to make use of it later and not having found time for it yet.

I too am interested in a dictionary for my Sony, and find it unfortunate that one wasn't integrated initially.

Probably at some point I'll look at taking the WordNet datafiles and making a .pdf of them, optimized for the Sony, but no matter how well it's done, it's simply not going to be as convenient as it is on a Kindle, or in Adobe's ebook reader app w/o support on Sony's part --- the best scenario I can work up is:

- make note of the word one wants to look up
- bookmark the current page in the current book
- bring up the bookmarks page
- go to a persistent bookmark for the dictionary
- navigate to where the word is and read the definition
- go back to the bookmarks page
- select the bookmark, return to one's place, clear the bookmark
